Remote harvester

Chia Plotting
1

ok i have set harvester pc up and it looks like working, but my main (full_node) pc doesn’t show it by command:

chia farm summary

how to dig the issue?

2

On this remote harvester machine:

  • chia keys show

displays “there are no saved private keys”. it must be it, how should i fix it? i have already inited this harvester with /ca folder from main pc.

please help

It has been awhile since I’ve done this, but

  • Did update the config.yaml on your harvester to point to your farmer’s IP address?
  • Copy the /ca keys to the harvester and chia init -c <directory of ca>?
  • Start the harvester with chia start harvester
  • Add the plot directories to the harvester with chia plots add -d /path/to/plots

For more debugging check the logs of your harvester.

cat .chia/mainnet/log/debug.log

Added manually to config. chia plot checks sees them.

chia start harvester has been executed and started Ok. log is empty which means no errors

ha. you’re right. my bad. I’ll update my post. :sweat_smile:

why everybody ignores obvious warning i posted twice already?

chia plots checks warns with missing privite key. isnt it the problem?

Like I said, I havn’t done this in awhile, but from what I can remember I thought these keys were optional. I always assumed that copying the /ca keys and init-ing with them was all that was required to run a remote harvester. Pretty sure they mentioned that you could copy the keys over but it was less secure.

i have copied my /ca from main pc into temporary directory and have init harvester pc from it. i ran it and been told /ca has been copied and installed succesfully. how could i went wrong …

gosh … why this is always a butthurt with everything nowadays …

Hmmm… can you go into your config.yaml and set the log level to INFO
Restart your harvester chia start harvester -r
and the check your logs again?

cat .chia/mainnet/log/debug.log

isnt’t it SSL related issue?

if your farmer is on a windows machine check if your windows firewall is blocking incoming connections? :man_shrugging:

Sorry, I dont know much about windows. You’ll have to google how to open a port in your windows firewall. Or you could try turning it off for a while to see if its actually the problem.
